    take any heavyweight in history.

    would they have an easy night vis him 10 times out of 10.

    i honestly believe he would be competitive vs anyone in any era. he might not bea everyone, probably woulsnt do. but i dont see him losing 10 out of 10 to anyone.

    his size, style and chin are enough to think he has a chance vs anyone in history.

    Nope, none... He has too many physical attributes to make him an easy victim, for anyone in history.
    I guess some fighters would get one or two good and easy nights against him, if they fought 10 times, but mostly they will either lose or have a tough and rough night.

    He'd win a hell of a lot more than he would lose.

    Holmes would TKO him over 15 rds (cuts) Holmes 8 out of 10 Vitali has a better chance on 12 rds.

    Lewis has a chance anyday, lewis wins 7 out of 10

    Tyson, Id say Vitali beats him 8 out of 10

    Joe Louis would be pretty even, 5 of 10

    Ali, Id say vitali wins 6 out of 10

    Foreman would probably lose to vitali 8 out of 10

    Frazier has a decent shot with his inside game maybe 5 out of 10

    Golota from the Bowe fights would be very interesting.

    unfortunately Vitali has lost much of his best years and at least 8-10 fights, that being said he had beaten some decent fighters...Sam Peter, Areola,Gomez,Kirk Johnson and the dominance over Briggs and pretty even fight with Lennox (despite a very bad cut and hold & hit damage vs Lennox) the fight was even at the time of stoppage. I think his better days came after Lewis (a confidence builder)

    I think Vitali is a tough guy and awkward and adaptable and I do not think for the most part that he is an easy fight for anyone or any era, not even his brother today

    It's hard to say "no", because he's fought one great fighter, who happened to be very old, and lost in 6 rounds.

    That said, I do rate Vitali but I see him getting schooled by Holmes and Ali in particular. I doubt he wins many rounds against either. Less than 8 our of 24 rounds altogether.

    The only problem I have with picking against Vitali is that the man just doesnt drop rds. Id wager he has dropped fewer rds than anyone in history as a champion.

    A better question is name one Hall of Fame boxer that Vitali has beaten and KOed. Thats right, not one. Now name any Hall of Fame boxers hes fought. Lewis, ...

    And a prime Ali, meaning right before they took his title, would beat ANY heavyweight in history and would make Vitali look like a fool. Watch Ali vs. Turrell if you dont believe me. As a matter of fact, Ali actually challeged Wilt Chamberlain to a bout and Wilt said yes but later declined.

    Plus Angelo Dundee said the bigger the fighter the better Ali fought

    I'd pick a schooling by Ali & Larry Holmes anyday

    You are obviously another of these guys who are into the Ali mystique. Ali has had moments of greatness and moments of average.

    He was adept at selling fights and talking trash, simple minded fans buy into this and worship him as a god. There are a lot of fighters in history would would beat Ali, but none who talked more **** than Ali.
